It was in this city that ABC Children's Aid began it's operations in Pakistan in 2005. Nazia grew up in circumstances most of us find difficult to comprehend. She lived in a village which had no school and she had to travel a long and dangerous way if she was to go to one. Her mother is a widow with 7 children in all and she could not afford all the expenses involved.

In one of his visits to poor villages an employee of ABC in Pakistan found out about Nazia and her family's circumstances. As thing turned out Nazia got into the school in Farooqabad and she completed her education there. She then proceeded to finish two years of college education. Today she is working in the accounts office at Machike Boarding school which is also run by ABC in Pakistan. She plans to continue her education and complete a Bachelors Degree.
